Born in Miaoli, Taiwan, Kao Hsiuming was gifted in art at a young age. Yet, in order to support his family, he made a living by working at Taipei Railway Workshop, where train manufacturing and repair took place. Seven years in the industry had influenced his sentiments for workers and mechanists in red vests and yellow caps. The experience gave him opportunities to visit and sketch factories. Soon after, he followed master Jiang Ruikeng, an artist known for painting “coal miner”, into the world of art. He also received guidance from artists Hong Ruilin and Chang Wanchuan. In 1997, Kao Hsiuming attended “Sunday Paint Day” along with master Jiang, where he acquired skills under the master’s courteous and liberal instructions. He has held solo and joint exhibitions at Hsinchu Cultural Affairs Bureau, Art Tainan, the 12th Art Taipei, and William Art Salon.
